I did the same thing when my 21 LR AWD Model 3 12v battery died suddenly one night and driver's doors became inop and car wouldn't move. Made a service appointment the next morning and I was able to drive it 40miles to the SC to have the battery replaced. I actually checked Autozone and Advanced...

So what you should do is create a new trip meter and name it "5-3 rotated" and reset the mileage. Check the box to show in trip cards. You can swipe left on the cards to view the mileage since last rotated. Don't forget to reset the tires under the service menu as it will display the approximate...

2021 M3LR AWD with Supervised FSD v12. First time using it and I am actually impressed. This works better than Autopilot with no phantom braking and better dynamic lane centering. I have used it on 70 mph freeways and 2 lane 55mph highways. I have disengaged mostly when approaching construction...

For me, v12 signals in my neighborhood roundabout 50% of the time.

At this point, I don't care about swirls in the paint. I didn't PPF any part of it and I have lots of rock chips. It gets driven over 30k miles a year and is a 100+ mile a weekday daily driver. If the paint gets too bad, I will get it repainted or just drive until I get to 500k miles then sell it.

My stock Michelins unevenly wore out on the driver side inside tread of the tires after 30k miles. I put new Conti ExtremeContact DWS06 tires on and took it to a Tesla SC to have it aligned. Left toe was adjusted. I have over 50k miles on the Conti's with minimal driver side inside tire wear. I...

I hand washed it the first two years, then with all the rock chips and scratches it has accumulated in 82k miles I stated taking it to car washes. I do a better job hand washing and hand drying than the car wash, but when it is really dirty and I don't have time, I take it to the local car wash...

2021 (Sept) M3LR AWD with 83k miles. I am 6' 4". While it isn't as comfortable to drive as my Ford Expedition, I have driven long mileage days in it. In the heat of Florida, the lack of seat ventilations causes swamp @$$, glad the new M3's have this now. Atom processor is fine, I don't use any...

21 3LR AWD with 75k miles 12v died at home while charging with no prior notification. Tesla app notified me that the 12v needed replacing, provided a link to make and appointment and took it into the SC the next morning. The car was inoperable and the driver door, windows were inop, the car...

The easiest place is behind the front seats on the floor. Hopefully you have all-weather mats so melting ice/snow won't soak into the carpets. Living in NW Florida we just preheat the cabin and melt any frost on the windows so we don't travel with a window scraper.

21 3LR AWD here and the OEM Michelins needed to be replaced at 30k miles because the left front toe was out from the factory and wore the inside edge of the tire down. I had Tesla perform a wheel alignment after I had 4 new https://www.tirerack.com/tires/continental-extremecontact-dws-06-plus...

This is an interesting comment. I frequently drive long distances for work by myself and I have never felt I needed someone in the car to talk to or talk to me. I drove 400 miles yesterday and most of it was in silence. If I get bored I will queue up a podcast or listen to a playlist on Pandora...

You are the reason while cycling I don't trust motorists. Not that they are trying to run me over, but people having "fuxxed" moments. Don't get your rims fixed, something tells me those won't be the last curbed marks on your rims.

When I read the title of this discussion post, this was the first solution that I was thinking. Your local auto parts store should have some, or wally world.

It wouldn't be the first time a "tire engineer" didn't balance the tire properly. Not to say they were deliberate, but it could still be the issue.

I would watch this YouTube video from the Tesla Bearded guy on charging receptacles. If you don't have a high quality receptacle designed for sustained loads, you may pop your breaker or cause a fire.

The warranty covers the battery and the drive motors, not the "battery system". Just like an ICE unlimited power train warranty, if your alternator croaks, the power train warranty doesn't cover an alternator replacement.

Yes, schedule a SC appointment. There is an onboard AC to DC converter. The mobile connector is just cabling and not that actual charging equipment.

It goes on your front bumper were the ultrasonic sensors use to be.

They should have given you uber credits. The two times I have had my 3LR AWD at the SC, they never offered me a loaner, only uber credits.

What is this you speak of? When I take my Tesla to the Pensacola SC, I park it, I get uber credits and I am told to leave and not enter the building. I get an in-app message when I can return and pickup my vehcile never talking or seeing any tech.

I purchased Acceleration Boost 1 month after taking delivery of my 21 3LR AWD. Wife couldn't tell the difference so I canxd it and got my money back. The car is fast enough without it.

In Sept 2021 I had a new 60amp circuit breaker added to my existing electrical panel, about 25 feet of conduit ran, electrical wire pulled and the Tesla wall charger installed for $1000. Add the cost of the Tesla Wall Charger $500 and the convenience of charging at home and I was happy to...

21 3LR AWD with 68k miles. NW Florida driven no squeaking from the control arms or other parts of the suspension.

To be honest, even if you drive off the SC lot and notice fit and finish issues later, you can schedule an in-app appointment to have the issues fixed. Watch the Meet your Tesla videos: https://www.tesla.com/support/meet-your-tesla/model-3 Read the owners manual...

2021 3LR AWD in Florida. I have all but the windshield tinted. Cabin temp in the Florida sun reaches 160. It takes less than 10 mins to cool it down to 60 from the app. Your AC is not performing optimally.

2021 LR AWD with 67k miles in 2 years, 0 mechanical/electrical issues.

I found matching scrapes on two of my cars and checked my home security camera's. My daughter backed into my Sequoia with my Civic and scraped it, but thought I wouldn't notice (I made her get her own car insurance and gave her the Civic after that). Someone probably was pushing something and...

Leave all your windows open and cool your garage down with your Tesla! :cool:

You need to move up to the Model S Plaid. Add some excitement to your driving experience. If that is too "out of the box" for you, get the Model 3 Performance. Fun car that can add some pizzaz to your commute. I have been charging my 21 3LR AWD with 66k miles on it to 90% daily on my home Tesla...

I have a 21 3LR AWD. My wife and I planned a trip with a mileage of 260 mi (418km) round trip. Charged my 3LR to 100% (341mi/548km of range on guess-o-meter) right before the trip. You would think I would have had enough charge to make it back home? Nope. Arrived at my location with 48%...

Don't worry about resale value if you plan on driving it for years. I have a 21 3LR AWD with 65k miles on it. I plan on driving it to 500k miles. At that point the resale value will be low. If you plan on flipping your car soon with low miles, pay out of pocket and have it fixed. If you aren't...

My Tesla can get up to 160 degrees inside in the direct sun. We just activate climate control on "LO" 10 mins before we depart and the cabin is nice and cool for the trip.

"The Crash: Rear Ended"

With a small frame, front wheel removed and handlebars rotated 90 degrees and the pedals removed with the bike seat down, this is possible. I can bet you will end up tearing up the rear seats and the back of the front seats along with ripping the door seals eventually.

I have a 2021 3LR AWD and I have a similar discolored smudge on my black window trim. My guess is when the delivery center detailed the vehicle, whatever they used on the windows discolored the trim. I now have 65k miles I have only handwashed the vehicle and the smudge is still there but...

My local tire shop that always changes my tires couldn't do the alignment so I had to take it to the nearest Tesla service center and paid $300+ for them to adjust the left front toe. I did this at 30k miles because the oem tires were wearing on the inside edge. The alignment is perfect and my...

In my expert internet opinion, I am going to wager $7000 and a 4 month repair time. Make sure to post back the cost and time in the shop.

21 3LR AWD. I left it in the covered airport parking garage not plugged in for 6 days at 26% SoC. Checked on it twice via the Tesla app over the 6 days and when I returned from my trip it never dropped a %. As other posters have said, make sure you don't have any 3rd party apps that connect to...

Yes the third party apps are causing the drain, I charged my 3LR AWD to 90%, unplugged it and turned sentry mode off. Over the course of 2 days it was still at 90% and I don't let any third party apps connect to it, only the OEM Tesla app.

I just surpassed 61k on my 21 3LR AWD (Date of Manufacture 9-21). As posted above, there isn't any "60k maintenance" required. I am on my second set of tires with 31k on them and 7/32 wear remaining (Conti Extreme Contact DWS6), second set of wiper blades (picked up a set of Bosch blades from...

Another possibility is skin lotion. Someone inside the vehicle shaking a small bottle of skin lotion and some splatters on the inside of the windshield.

It appears the vehicle value was not included in one of the lease termination quotes which is probably a software defect.

Probably charge you $499. $35 for the part and the rest for labor.

My guess is the non-painted color of the bumper is showing through the thin layer of white paint. I assume the naked bumper is a grey color, but when it comes through the thin paint appears blueish.

Looks like someone with a drink with a straw flung some of their drink across your windshield. It happens when you take a drink via the straw then flick the straw, it will fling whatever fluid is in the top part of the straw across your windshield.

Is this really required? I have a 2002 Toyota Sequoia and I have never had to replace the receiver dryer and the AC still blows cold. In fact, I have never had to replace it on any of my other vehicles.

Back in the day, that was minimal damage, just taped the bumper and you just kept driving it! But seriously, contact your auto insurance company and they should take care of everything unless you only have minimal coverage on a paid for vehicle then it is up to you to get it towed and repaired...

2021 3LR AWD with 56k miles. Daily 110mi commute with 90% of the mileage on the interstate at 70-80mph and 18in wheels without aero covers. 265wh/mi. Charged it to 100% two weeks ago and the guess-o-meter estimated 341mi range. This is with the wheel configurator without the aero covers.

No. My stock tires on the front left wore the inside part of the tire down after 30k miles. After buying new tires I took it to the only alignment shop that could check and adjust the wheel alignment, Tesla. They charged me $300 to correct a minor toe out on the left front. I have 25K miles on...
